1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Gaucher disease (GD) is a rare inherited metabolic disease caused by pathogenic variants in the GBA1 gene. So far, the pathomechanism of GD was investigated mainly in animal models. In order to delineate the molecular changes in GD cells we analysed gene expression profile in cultured skin fibroblasts from GD patients, control individuals and, additionally, patients with Niemann-Pick type C disease (NPC). We used expression microarrays with subsequent validation by qRT-PCR method. In the comparison GD patients vs. controls, the most pronounced relative fold change (rFC) in expression was observed for genes IL13RA2 and IFI6 (up-regulated) and ATOH8 and CRISPLD2 (down-regulated). Products of up-regulated and down-regulated genes were both enriched in genes associated with immune response. In addition, products of down-regulated genes were associated with cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions, matrix remodelling, PI3K-Akt signalling pathway and a neuronal survival pathway. Up-regulation of PLAU, IFIT1, TMEM158 and down-regulation of ATOH8 and ISLR distinguished GD patients from both NPC patients and healthy controls. Our results emphasize the inflammatory character of changes occurring in human GD cells indicating that further studies on novel therapeutics for GD should consider anti-inflammatory agents.
